This issue of the Army-Navy Screen Magazine opens with a dramatization
of the story of stolen money from the University of Virginia (00:18).
$500 is stolen from a dormitory, and Charles Randall is wrongfully
accused and expelled. The secretive Seven Society at Virginia, a
powerful weapon for good, looks into Charles Randall’s conviction and
believe that he is an innocent victim. The Seven investigate another
student they believe to be the real thief, which results in that student
confessing to the crime. The second feature is on “automatic writing,”
or doodling (03:20).
Different styles of doodling indicate different personality types, and
the film shows which types famous people such as Clark Gable, Myrna Loy,
and Robert Taylor, Lana Turner, and Mickey Rooney fall into. The film
shows authentic scribbling from George Washington (04:43),
Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt as
well. The final subject of this episode is the history of men’s clothes (05:18).
The film explains the stories (real or fabled) behind various styles,
such as the splits in the backs of coats (for riding horses), the advent
of the lapel, why the lowest button of the vest is left undone, and why
there is a row of buttons on jacket sleeves. The section concludes that
men who dress the same are easier to control, as it shows footage of
men in uniforms marching in time.
